Morningstar of Billings

I chose MorningStar for my son, who is recovering from a stroke, after personally touring six Assisted Living sites in Billings plus researching 2 or 3 more. My decision to put him in MorningStar was the right one. When we arrived late on a Saturday afternoon, the staff was ready for him and took care to get him and his stuff into his room in such a way that my friend was impressed and said, "These folks practice Christianity as few Christians do." My son has had nothing but good things to say about the staff, from the caregivers who respond to his requests, to the servers in the dining room and the administrative staff. My feelings are the same. We had a slight disagreement which was resolved in my favor with such grace that I was shocked, as far too often such issues are never settled amicably. The facility is first class and is both clean and well maintained. The food service is also above average with a varied menu that tries to provide both "comfort" food and more adventurous items. I eat a meal with my son every day I can so I speak with some experience. If my future needs require me to move to a Senior community, it will be MorningsStar. It's rare for my expectations for anything are exceeded. In this case they were.

They probably need younger receptionist who are willing to do their job. I deliver groceries and my instructions were to “leave the groceries with the receptionist in a cart “ . The receptionist instructed me to deliver the groceries to the resident in the building and I’m pretty sure it’s her job and not mine. I don’t mean to Complain, but it’s not my business to be inside of a nursing home doing tasks that aren’t mine . I imagine she skips other tasks if she didn’t want to deliver groceries in an elevator on a cart…… It was literally tissue and candies…

We recently had a family member require the services of Morningstar. Our initial meeting with Sean was reassuring and comforting through a difficult time. The staff is attentive, skilled and most importantly respectful of the residents. We noted that the residents seemed content and well groomed. We had several conversations with residents and all of them were very positive! All expressed pleasure regarding their living situation and the socialization it brought them. Thanks to Sean and all of the Morningstar staff for easing this transition for our family member and for us.

When my aging 90 year old father needed more help than I could provide, the decision was made to have him stay in an assisted living facility. We couldn't have made a better choice than living at Morning Star. The staff are wonderful to work with and are a loving and caring crew. I don't know how they can do it as it takes a special person to work with seniors who can be a bit difficult at times. Special thanks to Jamie who has always been there for my family whenever we had any questions or needs. For those of you looking for an assisted living facility for your loved ones, I would highly recommend comparing Morningstar to other facilities to see the difference. Thank you all!

My parents moved to Morningstar in 2017 and my mother is still there today. The staff at Morningstar is tremendously supportive, especially as my father moved from independent living to memory care. My Mom’s apartment is spacious with beautiful views. The facility and grounds are clean, updated and well maintained. The social events are an important part of Mom’s life and help her to remain active. I highly recommend Morningstar. Our experience there, over the last seven years, has been outstanding.
